I’m currently a junior in high school looking to enroll in a community college over the summer to make up for lost credit last semester.
The registration date on the website for the college says May 9, but after applying to CCCapply and registering with the school I got an email saying my registration starts on June 16 (the semester begins June 20). Is it normal to have to register late if you’re a new student?
What are my chances of getting in since I’m taking Trig? I’ve heard math classes fill up really quickly since they’re often required courses. And what about add/drop days in the beginning of the semester, is there a good chance I’ll get in during that period if I don’t get to register?
Also, the prerequisite stuff is confusing me. In general at CCs, specifically for high school students but info in general helps, if you were already enrolled in the class you want to take but didn’t get a satisfactory grade yet completed all the prereq courses up to that point, do you still have to take the placement test to enroll? Or can you just petition the Admissions or Counseling departments to let you in without that test?
I’m taking trig/math analysis this year in high school, which means one semester of trig and one of precalc, and I’m getting an A for the precalc part (haven’t taken the final yet, but at the very least I’ll have a B+ this semester) but I got a D+ for the trig portion because of a lot of outside conflict. Would that information help to petition the test (since I’m doing well right now at an even higher level of math)?
Thanks in advance!
